SCA: security update for vitess.io/vitess (GHSA-pqj7-jx24-wj7w)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417666
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Vitess is a database clustering system for horizontal scaling of MySQL through generalized sharding. Prior
to version 16.0.2, users can either intentionally or inadvertently create a shard containing `/`
characters from VTAdmin such that from that point on, anyone who tries to create a new shard from VTAdmin
will receive an error. Attempting to view the keyspace(s) will also no longer work. Creating a shard using
`vtctldclient` does not have the same problem because the CLI validates the input correctly. Version
16.0.2, corresponding to version 0.16.2 of the `go` module, contains a patch for this issue. Some
workarounds are available. Always use `vtctldclient` to create shards, instead of using VTAdmin; disable
creating shards from VTAdmin using RBAC; and/or delete the topology record for the offending shard using
the client for your topology server. (CVE-2023-29195)
